The original piece that comes with the headset is significantly better in terms of comfort and blocking light, but this product is still comfortable enough to use for other purposes outside of comfort. What you really want this for is handling sweat. Playing a more casual game like Half Life? Just use what you've already got for the best experience. Playing something like Beat Saber? Use this. Especially if you're sharing your headset with others.
The plastic piece fits perfectly and magnetically locks into place on the headset. The product comes with 2 thin Velcro pads. You'll want to apply the pad yourself as it's not perfectly aligned when you first unbox the product. The pieces do fit on perfectly fine and stay attached with a good grip. Due to how thin it is and a larger gap around the nose, a significant amount of light will leak through the nose, though while playing beatsaber, I didn't notice it. The edges of the pad are somewhat sharp. It won't cut you or anything, but what I mean by that is that you may feel a rough edge lightly pressing against the side of your nose. Nothing too serious and only experienced this on one side. Might be able to solve the issue by adjusting the pad better. As for sweat, it's leather. Easy to wipe clean. Overall, I'd say it's a great purchase. I'd only use it if I expect to break a sweat, however.
